Salvation comes to those who cooperate with God's grace. This directly contradicts Reformed dogma.
The point is that God has revealed Himself to all people or called all people through creation itself. All of life and all of creation Romans says testifies of God so that no one can say they are innocent.a) satan is the ruler of this world. (has nothing to do with anything I am saying)
b) The Lord's sheep hear his voice and follow him,
c) Those who do not come to him, are not his sheep, his sheep will come to Him.
John 10:26 - But you do not believe because you do not belong to my sheep
Only the sheep that belong to him will come, therefore not everyone is saved, and Jesus dies for his sheep
Matthew Henry - 1 Cor 5:22
All that are by faith united to Christ, are by his resurrection assured of their own. As through the sin of the first Adam, all men became mortal, because all had from him the same sinful nature, so, through the resurrection of Christ, shall all who are made to partake of the Spirit, and the spiritual nature, revive, and live for ever.
All who are to be believers, not every person, then everyone would have the Holy Spirit of God
a) Salvation is from the Lord,
b) Dead in their sins, slaves to sin, unregenerated peoples without the Holy Spirit cannot cooperate because they are blind and deaf without the Spirit they can not see or understand
That is your dogma talking. The bible says that God's grace has appeared to all men, that he wants all men to be saved, that Jesus is drawing all men to himself, and that we must do more than just see and understand to be saved.

So if the call by the Father is creation itself which has been shown to all people through their life and the entire world around them, how can Calvinists say that all men's sins Christ has not died for? It says all men are without excuse.
Romans 1:19-21
19 For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts.
So how is it then that Jesus could only die for some if the Father revealed Himself to ALL
Thank you for your well though and clear post,
Please consider the following verse:
The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:14
This is about unbelievers not understanding spiritual truths revealed to US because we have the Holy Spirit. After we are saved. When Christians speak of spiritual things revealed to Us by the Spirit. Not presalvation.
I guess Calvinists think Adam ate from the tree of evil, verses the tree of knowledge of good and evil.I have... At the authors request... Shared this article in full..
T = TOTAL INABILITY (Called in Calvinism, Total Depravity, but actually taught as the Total Inability of man to choose Truth. The Calvinist plays many such word games. The Word of God teaches that God created man with the ability to reason, choose, and receive Truth.):
Actually this one point of Calvinism may have some validity. You seem to be forgetting about the Tares in the parable of the wheat and tares. They are the seed of Satan, not the 'seed of the son of man'. They are allowed to exist but are destined for the fire.I have... At the authors request... Shared this article in full..
L = LIMITED ATONEMENT (Calvinism teaches that Christ died only for the elect, but the Bible teaches that He died for all mankind. The reason not all are saved is because they failed to repent and receive the Saviour, not because He didn't provide for their salvation.):

The pre-flood nephilim corruption was destroyed by the flood. 2 Pet 2:4 references those angels as being cast down to Tartarus. This is the only occurrence of Tartarus in scripture and is a Greek reference to the lowest hell that is the prison of the immortal titans of the previous age so Peter is equating those as the Gen 6 angels that sinned.
Yet Genesis also references that there were also giants 'after that' and they existed in the land of Canaan during the time of Moses. Jude also references those angels that sinned and equates it to the story out of Enoch.
In Revelation, we have four other angels bound that get let loose from the Euphrates. They were not bound in Tartarus with the others. IMO those four angels also fell into error but after the flood and were bound at the Babel rebellion for the creation of additional Nephilim offspring, the source of the ancient paganism.
So the question remains, can someone that is a 'seed of Satan' that is allowed to stay in the field be saved? Is redemption available for human hybrids that were conceived in direct violation of Yah's law?
I believe in the seven churches as seven congregations...
Ephesus - Messianic - Beginning with the Apostle to the Circumcision, Peter
Smyrna - Martyr - Beginning with the Apostle to the Un-Circumcision, Paul
Pergamos - Orthodoxy formed in this time... Pergos is a tower... Needed in the dark ages
Thyatira - Catholicism formed in this time - The spirit of Jezebel is to control and to dominate.
Sardis - Protestantism formed in this time- A sardius is a gem - elegant yet hard and rigid
Philadelphia - Wesleyism formed in this time - To be sanctioned is to acquire it with love.
Laodicea - Charismatic movement formed in this time - Beginning with DL Moody, the first to make money off of ministry
Matthew 26:24
John 17:12
Blessings!
In Gen 6 and 'also after that'. There was a 2nd incursion of Nephilim corruption post-flood, the source of the giants and mighty men post-flood. It was the reason for the orders to exterminate certain Canaanite bloodlines.I am led to believe that salvation is only for humans.
Are you asking about salvation being offered to the offspring of fallen angels interbreeding with the human females in genesis 6?
Judas was a Jew. He was not a Christian. He had fallen from the security of the Abrahamic Covenant. He did not proclaim Jesus as the promised Jewish Messiah. In fact, he rejected Jesus as such, which was blasphemy. He died (or killed himself) prior to the advent of the Cross, leaving him with no hope. Salvation by Grace through Faith was not available to him.I pointed out that Judas lost his salvation.
Is that supposed to be a reply?
As far as I can tell, you are trying to say that Judas is an exception to the rule.
If that is what you mean I wish you would say so.
How many exceptions do you have to make for your dogma to work out?
No my brother in Christ,
The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:14, I think I just won this debate
a) Salvation is from the Lord,
b) Dead in their sins, slaves to sin, unregenerated peoples without the Holy Spirit cannot cooperate because they are blind and deaf without the Spirit they can not see or understand

The Canaanite religion was based on sex with angels to produce the gods. Numbers equates that with sex with the Watchers in the reference to the 'field of Zophim' on Mt Pisgah. Pisgah is a sexual reference with the goddess Asherah and Zophim is Hebrew for Watchers that plant their seed in her field, a Hebrew idiom for the womb.
So the question, is salvation available to those of corrupted bloodlines that exist in the world today? Those bloodlines were not exterminated.
